Steppenwolf Fans! Here's a blast from the past, which I've done "just for fun!"
The bassline is AS PLAYED on the original recording because I am reading an accurate transcription, and putting soul and feeling into this bassline, and my tone is 'flat' on this recording, to sound
the same as the bass playing of Bassist, Rushton Moreve, who preceded Nicholas St. Nick on bass.
In January 1968 Steppenwolf released their debut Album containing Sookie, Sookie (written by Don Covay) and Born To Be Wild, introducing pschyadelic rock to the world.

The tone of my bass: My Expert Guitar Luthier of southern Italy, swapped a used, genuine vintage 1960 Sprague tone capacitor (value 0,1 mdf) to the electronics of my Fender Roadworn Jazz Bass so as to create a 60's tone, while I have worked with the knobs on my bass and amp to attain a flat, yet punchy tone. The bass in this video is a Fender Jazz Bass Roadworn MIM, (purchased at Sam Ash, Phoenix, Arizona) with three year old Ernie Ball slinky flatwound medium gauge strings, with both pickup controls on about 7 and the tone switch is in the 'middle', and am playing through a Marshall amplifier with the tone settings: Bass at 3 o'clock, Middle at 3 o'clock, Treble at 1 o'clock.
I OWN NO PART OF ANY OF THIS MUSIC.
